Yes. That's sad. This is the real problem. Devs of some projects, whether they understand this or not, work as provocateurs and incite hatred between people. Their actions hurt black people. After that, black people will feel that almost everyone hates them(because it was done "for them"). But i don't think devs are so evil. They are just computer nerds/geeks and complete idiots in social sphere. They don't understand the consequences of their actions and just a toy in politics game. -- Олег Неманов (Oleg Nemanov)
